TiriTiri matanig island trip

By Anonymous

Hi, bloggers last  Thursday, the senior school went on a trip to Tiritiri Matangi Island. The island is made up of animals and birds that are native, endemic and introduced.  We took the bus to Auckland Habour then walked to the ferry and got on, but before that we had to scrub our shoes because they don't want any pests and insects on the island like beetles, slugs, cockroaches and maggots.  When we got on the ferry we got a speech by the capatin telling us about what we are going to do. Then we got to eat morning tea. After that groups started going to the top of the ferry to have a look. We stopped at some different islands to pick up people, then we were off to Tiritiri. When we got to Tiritiri we sat in our groups, then a lady from the island  talked about how to take care of the island and how we could show respect to the animls and birds there. Then after that we got to go exploring - Yah! We saw many diffrent birds like Stitch bird, Tui, Robin and a Whitehead.  When we got to the lighthouse we had our lunch,  and after we finished we did some activites. One of the activites was find out some information in the vistors centre  and another was going up to the light house. After all that it was question time. At the end we went down to the beach and there were a lot of people with cuts, from the oysters. Then it was time to get back on the ferry and back to Auckland we came. Then we travelled back to school and got picked up by our parents. Bye Bye Tiritiri

Blog you later 😂😂




I thought that Tiritiri was a really fun adventure and I would want to visit the island again. I learnt that there was a Kawakawa tree that didn't burn. All of us had a really fun time so that was the best time that I had.

Today's  activity for the summer learning journey is finding out three top facts about New Zealand on the Tourism New Zealand site.  My first facts about New Zealand is,   New Zealand is part of the pacific rim of fire and it's most active volcano is Mount Ruapehu , which is found in the middle of the North Island . Did you know that? The Auckland sky tower is the tallest freestanding structure in the southern hemisphere, standing at 328 meters high.  Last fact about New Zealand that I found interesting was  30% of the country is forest. So there must be a lot of trees then. CAN YOU FIND OUT SOME INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT NEW ZEALAND? LEAVE A COMMENT ON WHAT YOU FOUND OUT BLOG YOU LATER

Summer learning journey

By Anonymous
Morena bloggers, Today in Literacy tumble we are doing something called the Summer Learning Journey.  We had to pick a country and, I picked Australia. The two reasons why I picked Australia is because one my favorite netball player is married to an Australian rugby player and, two because I wanted to find out about Australia so I can tell my aunt, who lives in Australia.  Who wants to find out about Australia? Lets Go.... In Australia the capital is  Canberra, there are many other places like Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney.  In Australia they have a holiday called Australia Day, which is on the 26th of January. On Australian day they eat things like Pavlova and also chips down at the beach. The national colours are Green and gold and they usually have a Kangaroo on their sports uniform.
